Solo travel experience
Reykjavik is tiny, you can walk the entire "city" in one morning. I found some very good restaurants there and the food was delicious but expensive.
Posted: May 21, 2023Solo travel experience
I found Reykjavik to be very friendly and safe. The first night I stayed in an Airbnb room in someone’s house (which I had never done) and was happy with the accommodation. I got lucky and saw a little of the northern lights that night. Spent the remainder of the trip in the national park. The rental car was very cheap at the time and the road that goes around the entire country was well paved and well marked.

I went solo and could afford to drive around on my own. Did all days tours golden circle, I could book a secrete lagoon with it (two hour entry, more of rustic stay and much smaller but unique) south to Vik and black sand beach. There is an amazing walk/loop along the shore to Grota light house -+12 km altogether, so worthy. It was so bizarre, unified and beautiful.
